Continuos-Absorption Turbine

ABSTRACT

The present invention teaches that a power generation system of the type having been based on Dalton&#39;s law of expansion with an engineered gas suitable for changing phase between liquid and gaseous states within a engineered thermal differential. Using high pressure tubing in vacuum as a conduit for the engineered gas charge, heat energy is applied to the heat exchanger, the liquid gas expands and tries to equalize in the system, moving from its liquid receiver to the low pressure side of the system. Still mostly in liquid form the engineered gas passes through a pressure reversing valve, and turbines capable of running at high pressure. The gas then passes through a regulating orifice until decompression and condensation occurs in the second heat exchanger. The cycle then is continuous. The power generated can be stored in a power storage device or used directly through a power inverter. The invention has the advantage of being relatively cheap to manufacture, distribute, maintain, install and the advantage of being able to work in any climate

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates generally to a basic closed loop steam turbine, and specifically to an improved system for generating electrical energy.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The initial step in creating usable Electrical energy is to find a source for potential energy IE: flowing River, Uranium, coal, natural gas, Steam. Harness the potential energy and finally create usable electric energy, which can be extremely expensive and harmful to the environment.

Various methods of creating usable electrical energy have been proposed. For example U.S. Pat. No. 7,019,412 issued Mar. 28, 2006 to Ruggieri, et al. for Power generation methods and systems teaches the use of Ammonia-refrigerant to produce a heated and pressurized vapor to generate electromechanical energy.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,272,879 issued Dec. 28, 1993 to Wiggs for Multi-system power generator at least proposes using an engineered refrigerant in the system. U.S. Pat. No. 4,423,599 issued Jan. 3, 1984 to Veale for Solar energy utilization apparatus and method teaches a system can use water to generate steam to create electromechanical energy.

In general, it would be preferable to avoid having more than one system loop or the use of ammonia or water. Having more than one loop for the system make this process to complex and/or expensive and although water and ammonia can be used, an engineered gas can be used in any climate or time of year.

A continuous-absorption turbine needs to be able to have a controlled cycle with an engineered gas and/or a reversing valve in order to be able to take advantage of climate change.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION General Summary

The present invention teaches that a power generation system of the type having been based on Dalton's law of expansion using an engineered gas suitable for changing phase between liquid and gaseous states within a engineered thermal differential is the preferred method of converting energy.

Using high pressure tubing in a vacuum state as a conduit for the engineered gas charge, heat energies is applied to the heat exchanger, the liquid gas expands at a specified rate according to its engineering and tries to equalize in the system, moving from its liquid receiver to the low pressure side of the system. Still mostly in liquid form the engineered gas passes through a pressure reversing valve, a series of turbines capable of running at high pressure, The gas then passes through a regulating orifice until decompression and condensation occurs in a second heat exchanger. The cycle then starts again.

The power generated can be stored in a power storage device or used directly through a power inverter. The invention has the advantage of being relatively cheap to manufacture, distribute, install, maintain, and the advantage of being able to work in any climate

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1. is a platform view of the power generation system of a first embodiment of the invention. Using high pressure tubing in vacuum state as a conduit for engineered gas charge (102) (103) it should consist of a quantity of engineered gas that at sufficient pressure to condense and/or expand depending on the state of the reversing valve and relative heat source. (104) In the heat exchanger (101) the liquid engineered gas expands and tries to equalize in the system moving from its receiver (105) through the heat exchanger to the low pressure side of the system, on its way still mostly in liquid form it passes through a series of turbines (107) capable of running at high pressure, a pressure reversing valve (104) and a pressure regulating orifice (106) until the gas is decompressed in a second heat exchanger and the cycle continues. The power generated can be stored in a power storage device (109) or used directly through a power inverter. (108) 

1. A power generation system of the type been based on Dalton's law of expansion therefore when heat energy is supplied to an engineered gas via a heat exchanger, the engineered gas expands and tries to equalize in the system. Moving from its receiver through the heat exchanger to the low pressure side of the system and then condensing in a second heat exchanger then moving back in to the receiver. This system is comprised of: A means for transferring heat to the fluid from at least one potential heat source, A quantity of engineered gas that at a sufficient pressure will expand and/or condense depending on the state of the reversing valve and size of conduit High pressure tubing in vacuum as a conduit for engineered gas charge Liquid Receiver Pressure reversing valve Electric turbines capable of running at high pressure Pressure regulating orifice
